Trouble with door locks

I don't know if you guys remember but I'm having some problems with the power door locks on my 99 accord. It first started with one door and now 3 of the door locks aren't working. I took one of the door panels off and listened to the actuator as I used my keyless entry, and it powered it okay at first but still not enough to make the door lock move. Then the more I pressed the unlock button the weaker the motor sounded.

I took the actuator apart and greased the moving parts in case there was any friction, but that didn't help. So does anyone have any advice for me? I've been searching the internet for door lock actuators but have come up blank. If anyone has any info please let me know. Thanks in advance.

Don't know if that would work for you or not, but there are universal ones out there that may do the job. Or I'm sure your local Honda dealer would have some at a price that could probably be considered rapage.

Thanks for the link Jonathan. At only $9.99 I may have to try one and see how it works. I was also thinking this morning about the possibility that the actuators are not getting enough power. Is that even possible? Could it be that there is some relay malfunctiong? I'm just trying to cover everything.
